windows programmer text editor

[edmicman]

i've been using PSPad for a long time now, but its becoming slower and slower for me. Are there any other recommended text editors for windows that include an integrated ftp so I can work with remote files easily? Can Eclipse/phpEclipse do it? Thanks for any ideas!

I'm sure you can easily find a plugin for ftp, if there isn't one out of the box. But I'm sure you can do much better than eclipse for php editing. I don't know about features, but certainly for sheer weight 😛

Thanks, I just threw Eclipse out there because I recently downloaded it and was going to try it out for awhile. Mostly, I'd just like a small, quick text editor that I can use for regular text files and also some editing php/asp pages. I like(d) PSPad, but it just seems boggy lately, so I was wondering what else was out there. But the integrated FTP client I use a lot....I can load up my files remotely from my host, edit them, then save it back automatically. It's really pretty cool!

Visual Studio 2005 has FTP built in, and really it is a pretty damn nice build environment. MS has a free version you can download from their site.

Does it 'build' php? 😛

I use HTML-Kit, which has a built in file browser panel, which works just like a local file browser. Crimson Editor's FTP browser is kind of annoying to use. You have to keep going through a file dialog to open files.

Also, Google for Netdrive. It's a program that can add an FTP site as a drive in Windows. This will let you use any editor you want.
